Powderpuff flag football tradition continues at CV
Clayton Valley hosted its powderpuff competition on May 19, with juniors and seniors playing a series of flag football games against each other.
For those who don’t know what it is: Powderpuff is an annual American and Canadian high school activity.
Originally, powderpuff started as a college tradition, and it has transitioned into being a high school tradition for over 80 years.
Clayton Valley had four teams playing: two junior teams and two senior teams, with each team having seven to 10 players and two to four coaches.
Izebella Vega participated as a player in this year's powderpuff and has many thoughts on her experience.
“I felt pretty prepared, because we practiced a lot," Vega said. “I think my team did pretty good honestly. I think just when it came down to it, it was, like, stressful.”
As a team they did pretty good, but Vega also had some words to share about herself.
“I think I did good. I definitely think there’s some things that I could have worked on more,” Vega said.
Timmothy Butler was a coach in this year’s powderpuff and shared thoughts on his experience.
“I think we did pretty good for the amount of people,” Butler said. “We had, like, no breaks. I definitely think we should have had a running clock. We needed more time to get water.”
Butler also had many thoughts of how he did as a coach.
“I feel like I did alright. I definitely could’ve done better play calling,” Butler stated. “For the main part, I think, practice is what went pretty well.”
Colette Magu participated for the junior team.
“Overall I think our team did good considering the situations we had during games,” Magu said.
Since Magu is a junior she has one more year to play in powderpuff next year.
“I would do this again because it’s a fun sport,” Magu said. “I would probably want to play during, and not after, school.”
